Importing the Mesh and Naming the Simulation

Start up STAR-CCM+ in a manner that is appropriate to your working environment and select the New Simulation option from the menu bar.

Continue by importing the hexahedral mesh and naming the simulation. The grid has been saved in the .ccm file format, which contains all necessary cell, vertex and boundary information for the problem geometry.

Select File > Import... from the menu bar

In the Open dialog, navigate to the doc/tutorials/hexMesh subdirectory of your STAR-CCM+ installation directory and select file hex.ccm.

Click Open to start the import. The Import Mesh Options dialog will appear.

Select the Run mesh diagnostics after import and the Open geometry scene after import options.

Ensure that the Don't show this dialog during import option is not selected, then click OK.

Finally, save the new simulation to disk under file name hexMesh.sim.
